Some Weird Questions require your attention
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2013 5:59 pm
Hi
Firstly, I have read FAQ section and understood few bits. I am going to ask these questions to re-assure that I am on a right track.
My ILR is due at the end of this year. I have few questions and before I ask, I’d like to introduce my status.
WP obtained on XX/2008
Tier 1 PBS obtained on XX/2010
My Spouse obtained her dependent visa on XX/2009 (when I was on WP).
And Dependent of Tier 1PBS on XX/2010 (with me)
I’ve two more dependents now.
My questions
1- I can apply 28 days before the relevant date of XX/2013. Am I correct? Before work permit, I was in UK on working holiday maker visa.
2- Can my dependent apply ILR with me (as she does not require 5 years tenure in the UK as per Q12 of FAQs on the basis that she applied for my dependent before 09 July 2012)? Am I correct in thinking that she can apply with me?
3- In order to avoid delays, Can I apply for ILR alone by booking PEO appointment? As I will find out the response possibly on the same day, then can I apply ILR application for my dependents on the next day by post? Since Home office would have already made a decision on my application, therefore I expect that the applications of my dependents would be straight forward and I would get the outcome sooner than later. The sole purpose is to save some money as PEO applications for 4 persons will be heavy on my wallet.
4- If answer to Q3 is yes and they can apply after the decision of my application at PEO, which application should I use? Are there any special requirements which I should fulfil by applying ILR for dependents at later stage?
5- Since I was on WP before TIER 1, therefore How can I satisfy the following instruction in section 11L of the SET(O) form "For the period before you were granted leave as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, documents showing that you met the relevant requirements of the immigration rules."? What documents do I require to fulfil this?
6- According to changes to ‘knowledge of language and life’ requirements’, applicants applying after 28 October 2013 should fulfil English language competency. I have already submitted IELTS document when applied for Tier 1. So reading the details, it appears that I do not have to submit the English language certificate (according to example given on P5 of this document). Now, my wife has also given IELTS in 2009 (after she had my dependent status) and that IELTS was requiring for her to get registered as a health professional but not for immigration purposes. My question is that, would my wife require providing English proficiency certificate? And if yes, can she present IELTS done in 2009 or should she re-appear in English test?
I hope few of you can answer my questions. Thanks.
